The Key of Life

Thought by many to represent life itself, this ancient symbol is believed to be the key to unlocking the secrets that lie behind death’s door. The symbol dates back to around 2900 BCE and is often depicted in funerary artwork. It is believed that the gods would use the ankh to emanate the breath of eternal life into the dead. It is a symbol of power and wisdom just the same as it is of rebirth and regeneration. All things can be found within the ankh because when there is balance and cooperation between masculine and feminine energy, all things are possible.
